Phew. wow. I have just discovered that when you're in a position of leadership, you get to have a lot of chat windows open. Literally a lot. Your typical EVE player has somewhere in the realm of 4 to 5 chat windows open. I just hit a record high of 31.
That's 31 separate windows, and it's pretty much all diplomatic work. I can't even properly write a post in under an hour due to just the sheer number of people I'm talking to. Between this sentence and the previous one has just been ten minutes of talking to different contacts in game, and most of them are mad.
It kinda just goes to show that people can take video games a bit seriously at times. Don't get me wrong, most gamers can get a bit heated about the games they love. I feel the same way about puppies. I love them so much, and god help you if you do anything bad to one. It's just that some people get heated about different things. And that isn't even going into motivations for gaming. It can be real complicated sometimes.
But that's not what my post is about.
No, my post today is just a suggestion to any CCP devs that might run across this post. Instead of making the additional chat windows pop up in the same box and having additional windows pop up in an arrow going to the right in a drop down menu, can't we just extend the border to make it go up so we can easily get to any tabs that need our attention? It's really just a small thing that makes our lives a little easier. That's all I ask.
Blue probes out.
Ugh, I know THAT feeling, mate. >:-/ Chat windows are a large part of my job description in EVE.
